D. Tettigonidae

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Hypermetamorphosis is observed in Mantispidae.
Hypermetamorphosis is a term used mainly in entomology; it refers to a class of variants of holometabolism, that is to say, complete insect metamorphosis. In hypermetamorphosis some larval instars are functionally and morphologically distinct from each other.
Hypermetamorphosis usually occurs as an adaptation of the ontogeny of certain parasitoid insects, notably in the Neuropteran family Mantispidae.
